Spit your gum out

This will be one of the few posts I will do with no photo (as not to incriminate the brides who have done it), there are few things that will ruin a good photo the way chewing gum does.

I will say right off the bat I am not a gum person and I don't understand the need to constantly chew gum, but in general it doesn't bother me until it shows up in my photos.

When it comes to taking portraits many people stress about a a pimple, or blinking and while blinking can't be corrected it's usually a one off thing, only the worst acne outbreak isn't fixable in Photoshop, but gum on the other hand just makes your face do all sorts of weird things.

Talking is another one one that will ruin a posed photo, but unlike chewing gum it can often become part of a candid photo, making it more realistic.

So unless you're doing a cute bubble blowing photo. Spit the gum out.



(No brides have ever chewed gum during the ceremony. At least that I know of).
